What drives someone to become a suicide bomber? Who are al Qaeda and what do they want? This book answers these and other questions in an exploration that ranges from French Revolution to death squads of Colombia, and reveals how terrorism has become an invasive presence that affects government policy, military actions, and holiday destinations.
Leonard Weinberg is Foundation Professor of Political Science at the University of Nevada. He has also served as a consultant to the United Nations Office for the Prevention of Terrorism and was a recipient of the 1999 Thornton Peace Prize.
"In this compact and critically important guide, Weinberg displays vast knowedge, humor, good sense, and wisdom. An indispensable addition to the literature."Jessica Stern - Lecturer in Public Policy, Kenney School Of Government, and author of 'Terror In The Name Of God'
